In memories of WBM 9) You see colors by Delays

GWの博多ショッピングツアー帰りに運転しながら聴こうと思ってホークスタウンのHMVで購入。結構好きなんですね。こういう明け透けなSugarspun Dreamy キラキラポップが。Lightning Seedsとか、Candy Flip（懐かしい？）とか、Scritti Polittiとかね。日本盤ボーナストラック入り１４曲＋ヴァレンタインのプロモ入りエンハンスト仕様で１９８０円とお買い得ですが、何はともあれ１曲目の現状ではシングルカットされていない"You and me"１曲のために1980円払っても惜しくないと思われます。参った。 先月末にタワレコの視聴コーナーで初めて聴いたのですが、その時は曲調から明らかにキラキラポップだったんで、私の耳には・・・To the bitter end, I have fought aloneNow, here's Catherine coming home...と聞こえたんですね。「大変だったけど、これまで一人っきりで闘ってきたんだそして、今日、やっと、ほら、キャサリンが僕んちに来てくれるんだ」って、ものすごく曲調に合いますもん。ところが、歌詞カード見てびっくり。YOU AND METo the bitter end I have fought alone,Now this cavalry is coming home,Like a motorcade lost in tickertape,I have felt my way to you again,On any other day there’d be a marching band,But I stole away before they cut me down,What say we go, meet by the well?Don’t tell a soul, this is our time…And we can lay low tonight; no I don’t have the will to fight,My president or his designs; you & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna befine…Cos you knew me when I was wide awake,Now I sleep all day, oh my mistake!Oh any other day, there’d be a marching band,But I stole away before the curtain fell,What say we go, meet by the well?Don’t tell a soul, this is our time…Yeah we can lay low tonight; no I don’t have the will to fightMy President or his designs; you & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna befineIn time, inside, here comes the falling rain,In time, inside, here comes the pouring rain,In time, inside, here comes the falling rain,In time, inside, here comes the poison rain,Yeah we can lay low tonight; no I don’t have the will to fightMy President or his denials; you & me coulda been fine,Oh we can lay low tonight; we can set the flag alight,We’re clawing back the time, when youth was on our side,You & me coulda been fine, you & me were gonna be fine
